All my friends

[bertine]

sacramentalist has this cool widget that allows him to make a graph of your friends and how they relate. I think it is very cool. You can see my brunch group, the people I play rock band with, the people I met because of robotskull and all the people I met because of posthaste. Also my exes and other old friends that I have on my friends list so they can keep up to date with me.

In other news, I thought I would have all day Saturday open to bake either coconut cupcakes or lemon poppyseed muffins but then I realized that I was going to visit my friend Heather. I should figure out when I am leaving and when I should get home. Hmm...

BTW not saying it's not cool, just trying to reverse-engineer exactly what it does (: I'm thinking to maybe spiders through profiles and looks at flists, but it looks to me like it goes through your LJ and looks at conversation threads (:

The script is called lj2friends.pl, by darxus. There was mention of it about 5 years ago on lj_nifty

It spiders through friends lists by calling the .bml scripts. I believe a person's friends won't show if the the friends list isn't publically viewable.

It creates a .dot file graph specification. Then you can put it through a plotter, like neato, or springgraph, which is what I used.

Then I don't understand how there can be multiple arrows between people?.. I mean if I'm your friend, then we're only friends once, right?
